T-FORCE has announced its new T-FORCE Z54E PCIe 5.0 SSD. The drive utilizes a Phison E28 controller built on TSMC’s 6 nm process.
Like its fellow Z5 series SSD, It features a PCIe Gen5 x4 interface, supports the NVMe 2.0 protocol, and includes an on-board DRAM cache to aid write performance.
Performance and Specifications
The T-FORCE Z54E SSD will be available in 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB capacities. According to TEAMGROUP, the 2 TB and 4 TB models are capable of sequential read speeds up to 14,900 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 14,000 MB/s.
